So it looks like Zanker wants to go to Freo and means we will be a chance to trade for the #1 pick. Not sure her motivation but disappointing she wants to leave. Feel like we have a good young list.

I’ll miss her but a very high pick would be amazing.
The AFLW draft gets stronger every year now that we’re selecting from players that have been playing right through their teens

Having a number 1 draft pick from a battling but slowly improving foundation club nominate to go to undefeated premiers North Melbourne as soon as their contract is up is also just a ****ed look
But also worrying, again nothing against North themselves doing what they're doing. If it was us, i'd be wanting to maintain. But like the last two years + this, are a serious warning shot to the competition that they don't plan on going away. An extended period of dominance will make the competition feel uncompetitive against a super team.

Yeah it looks kinda shit (although K-L W-T hasn't really starred yet as a former #1 pick). I guess if they have to give up a player to get her rather than (or in addition to) pick 18 that might appear more reasonable. Think the suns have a few top academy picks this year so 18 may push out a bit?
Kudos to them though in building themselves into the dominant force/destination club they are.

On a separate note, I saw a few North Melbourne fans on social media dig up and old Caro article calling the club a boys club for sacking their inaugural coach, and saying how wrong it was.
I mean yes it worked out entirely, but I'm I insane for thinking both can be right? Better coach or not, still flicked your first coach for an Ex-North player

Norf supporters are funny creatures. Plenty online carrying on like this is the most amazing thing to ever have happened lol. Like this is the greatest side to have ever taken a field. They really have had absolutely nothing to celebrate since the Carey incident have they. Solid team, but the competition is so bad, you just can't take it that seriously. I'm not even sure it's necessarily their program or they are doing anything differently, they just poached the right players which made them too strong for the rest of the comp. In no way should a recent #1 draft pick be able to choose them as a destination. If the AFL are serious in getting people to watch the women's game, then this shouldn't be able to happen. Players can't just cherry pick a flag here surely.

Been trying to research the AFLW draft knowing the Zanker trade happening.

This power rankings has a top 30.
Richmond and us will go hard for the number 1 (most likely midfielder Chloe Brown) selection from the Suns.

Trade week and we have no coach yet. If Zanker does go west , what would we be asking for ?
I know we asked the question to Daisy but not sure she will take the job.
